lyrics

Blood and bone and all we've ever known (repeat throughout)

To the East and through the Air
We honor clarity
Visions floating on the breeze
And pow'r to speak our dreams

To the South and through the Fire
We honor courage bright
Fire that forges our desires
And burns with blazing light

To the West and through the Water
Flowing out to sea
Emotions deep and passion wild
True intuition be

To the North and through the Earth
We stand on sacred ground
Pillars of the ancient wisdom
Silent in the sound

To all Above and through all space
The heavens and the stars
Place of gods
Creation of the universe is ours

To all Below down through all ages
Dark and shadow space
Rise up now to serve us well
Here in this time and place

To the Center through the Spirit
All is found within
Community and all that be
Now spiral out and in

Our work we now take on
To make the changes that will last
We stand within our circle strong
And powerfully cast

Blessed Be, Blessed Be
Blessed Be, Blessed Be
Blessed Be.

The Blue Rose Rare and Other Faerie Tales
by Alexander James Adams

supported by 8 fans who also own “Samhain Circle”

Alexander James Adams "The Blue Rose Rare and Other Faerie Tales" is an excellent album. With songs retelling a variety of myths and faerie tales, each song is both very fun to listen to, fits well together as an album, and is distinct from the rest of the album. Brownie Dan especially stuck out to me, both in terms of just being a really fun song musically and in terms of the lyrics being delightful. Definitely worth a listen, and thank you for a wonderful album. Kamani
